It's about 12years I read this book but couldn't remember any of the event that took place in this old novel.

I'm still surprised they have this book around as at 12 years ago.

Are you sure you read in school or at home, maybe your parents are teacher and brought the book home.

I read this in 2002/3.

You people should stop this rubbish. No two fathers (or mothers) are the same.

The fact that you loved and cherished your dad, who may or may not be alive now doesn't mean others should cherish their own horrible parents. Our experiences differ.

It's like saying Shekau's children should be proud of him because he gave birth to them or a managing director telling a cleaner who is treated like trash at work to be happy he has a job. Or telling a woman whose husband beats everyday to be happy she has a husband because alot of women are single.

The attitude is disgusting, let's stop it.

girls do it alot more than boys AF
How many boys care how Dem look? "Anyhow u look as long as u get money, beautiful girl will date u" normal quote for men

Nigeria girls 90/100 re doing it
Nigeria boys 20/100 re doing it, so just leave boys aside 4 the mata

You will be surprised at the rate at which boys bleach these days.

This table wey una dey shake, boys full am.

We failed our women. If the Nigerian politicians that are male dominated led the country well, why would Nigeria ever be the prostitution and fraud capital of Africa? Lots of folks just heaping blame on the girls, but the alternative is starvation, watching their sick parent die, betraying their kids, depression and death. Also a lifetime is short, and no one wants to miss out on the goodies of life. Selling their bodies seems as a bearable price to pay.

It's easy to blame, point fingers and assume the high moral ground, any idiot can do that, where the work lies is in the acknowledgement and the consequent process to solve these issues. I deeply feel sorry for them. I wish I could help. This is particularly one of the reason why I take very good care of my cousin sister, from her education and boarding, I funded it since she was 17. I'll bear that burden because the alternative is disastrous. It will break my heart to see her become a cum bag for the trashiest of men, all in the name of survival. How much Nigeria has forsaken its people. I weep.

When it comes to this opinion, I always have my reservation.

Heaping 100 percent blame on men is just an insincere thing to do.


Women are the ones who chose those irresponsible men as partners and even bore children for them.

A course that makes you hopeless after graduation.

bluefilm:
Wait a minute...

So you watched that USA '94 finals between Italy and Brazil?

My fellow senior citizen, I greet o...

Bros, no vex o.

Let's assumed you were 10 in' 94, that means by now you will be 38 but your moniker on an anonymous forum is bluefilm. I think you should start acting your age.

Dabronze:
I thought as much !

Girls tis, girls tat.

What about Nigerian boys bleaching?

A Bros I know whom we grew up together was black but as at now, he is oyinbo.

Seriously let girls rest joor.

Maybe, just maybe you will change your mind if a woman gives you a valentine gift and expects nothing in return. Not even attention.

To conclude, you must integrate your shadows, meaning that to become whole, you must be good, not nice. It is the killing of the innocent naivety that is natural in you, to transmogrify into someone that is grounded. You can't strengthen one, without the other, they go hand in hand. So if you ever wonder why nice people suffer unnecessarily, it's because they lack the ability to be bad, and can only complain without actually facing their aggressor squarely and deal him a heavy blow. We are basically animalistic in motivations, although we wear a nice garment called civility, but generally humans are animals like the wild. If you see the world like this, you'll know how to live well in it.

Bros, you have finished talk.

If you don't show people you get craze from time to time, you will just become their footsteps. This includes parents, siblings, romantic partners, boss at the office etc.

teebagy:
broh u made no sense . How does medicine and surgery has to do with what is been discussed

Alright.

Her parents.

Only irresponsible parents would transfer their responsibility to their in-law.

pansophist:
Can..

Thanks for bringing another dimension to the argument.

Zabiboy:
Bro, this exactly is the difference between whites and blacks...
One is waiting for the government, the other is creating ways for himself...
If a black man and a white man has the exact same knowledge, the black man would be jumping from one company to the other looking for a job while the white man is searching for ways his knowledge would bring wealth to himself...
I'm in support of cave here but i wont say its low IQ or intelligence, i'll say its poor mentality.

Graduates are saying no job because everyone is waiting for the government.. but yet, tell them to stop wasting 4-7 years in university and do something else, they wont agree...

Technology is advancing, nobody cares about what school/environment you came from, what they are interested in is what you can produce... I challenge everyone here, Go and learn EtherJs, NextJs and web3js.. Even if you are an almajri, dont learn to work for somebody, learn so you can be your own boss and by the end of the year, if You are very good in those 3 libraries and you haven't made at least $15k, PM me...

In a nutshell bro, while we blacks are waiting for government or looking for who/what to blame, the whites are grooming their kids on what the world needs right now...

with just html, css and JS, you can make at least $200(114k) in 2 hours, if you add those 3 libraries above, thats the killer blow..No school would teach you this, your parents wont teach you this, no need to wait and wail about buhari, just position yourself to benefit from this growing space/opportunity... Thats what the whites do while blacks are complaining
My humble opinion
Modified: i edited some personal stuffs which i had included

Well, the whites depend on their government more than we do here.

Their government provide for them than our government do here.

Skyview01:
35 years with no single functional brain cell! Kudos to the smart girl.

How is the girl smart oga? Na una dey promote rudeness from these girls.

Look at how rude that girl was?

We should stop telling ugly girls they are beautiful. It eats deep into their heads.

What exactly do girls gain by sharing this stuffs online?

The case of blacks and whites is similar to the case of the hare and the tortoise.

The tortoise (whites) know they are weak in terms of strength and use their brains because that's the only thing they are left with, the hare(blacks) knows its strong and fast but suddenly forgotten that it has a brain.

posty56:
wtf are you saying Messi and Ronaldo great because of medicine ? okay I need to take a break. why black players no take the advance medicine too.

.
The reason why they are still playing presently is because of advancement in medicine.

Incase you don't know, when players get injured and go for surgery, they come back better and stronger than they were before the injury.


You also need to understand what medicine (& surgery means). Before now, they would have retired as their body would be begging them to.

Nothing wrong with the age difference bro.

pansophist:
If you say blacks, are you referring to blacks in Africa, or blacks generally regardless of geography (education, educational level) ? Nevertheless, the idea that a race is superior than another is not true, such a belief is a branch of scientific racism, same doctrine that was used to justify slavery, apartheid, Jim crow laws etc. It has been over-debunked, disenfranchised in the science community and classified as pseudo, which it truly is.

Blacks do not have a low IQ. I'll put it this way. If you compare an adult almajiri to Obama's daughter, then of course Obama's daughter will have a higher IQ. They have access to world class educational facilities and are not limited in any way that will impede their full potential and development. It would be wrong to declare that the almajiri is biologically inferior. It's a case of nature vs nurture. Whole human race has contributed to the growth of humanity, blacks included.

It's also important to not accept the methodology of IQ determination as absolute. As Albert Einstein said, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that its stupid. Having said that, I do not agree nor accept that blacks are biologically inferior (nature) as you claimed, and if blacks are, then it's because they never had the ability to improve (nurture). The smartest family in the UK are blacks. Same goes the world outside Africa, as blacks are breaking records. It's all about nurture, not nature. If a black man has a Lower IQ, then it's not biological, but situational.

If we want to say a race in superior in terms of strength and IQ, then it's the blacks and I'm not saying this because I'm a Nigerian.

Before artificial selection became a thing, natural selection was the way of things, i.e. The strongest survives and the weakest dies and this r has eaten into the average African till today, we still depend on strength for everything. It's the reason why Africans survived the slave trade and sugar-cane plantation despite the harsh treatments from the slave masters. It something the European/Americans couldn't do and the other Asians slave died because they couldn't withstand the harshness.

It's the reason why Mohammed Ali, Pele, Kobe Bryant, Usain Bolt etc were good at their respective sports, better than their white counterparts, even though Maradona was on drugs, he couldn't achieve was Pele achieved.

But then, the world no longer totally depend on physical strength. Brain power trumps physical strength any day any time, it's the reason why the whites are far ahead of us. Not because they are better genetically. Their main strength has been brain power right from the start
, they know this and it's why they celebrate their intellectuals but over here, what is glorified is the physical strength. We celebrate it more and depend on our brain less, so long it's an African settings.


Why do you think Nigerians travel abroad to become more successful academically and even financially than the white indigenous sometimes? It's because we are better intellectually but our environment is the limitations. You can Google this, Nigerians do better than even the Chinese, these are the same people that are average back at home. Some graduated with 2.2 and bagged distinction in their masters abroad.

You might ask why people like Ronaldo and Messi are better than black players of their mates, it's because of the advancement in medicine, aside this, there is more protection in the game unlike before when it was all about strength. 15 years ago, all those white players in their 30 would have retired.

ThEGodFaThEr902:
As a confirm Yoruba guy from Igbęsa Ogun state this is one of the reason why I detest the way of life of some of our Yoruba elders.

You don't have money but you want to do OWAMBE.

We Yorubas need to put an end to this OWAMBE lifestyle.

If we toast a girl then we will do OWAMBE
If we impregnate a girl, we will do OWAMBE
If we recover from sickness we will do OWAMBE
If we collect owo ajô we will do OWAMBE
If we do freedom we will do OWAMBE
If our women divorce their men we will do OWAMBE
Everyday na so so OWAMBE

As funny as this may sound, OWAMBE is one of the things keeping Yoruba people afloat in this country. We are the happiest major ethnic group despite the vices and happenings in the country.

kayusely70:
I hope the boy would be allowed to attend school as well!

It doesn't stop them from attending school until they become professionals, by then they will have to suspended schooling because they already have a career.

I remember Rashford telling LVG he won't be available for a match because he had chemistry test. When he been no get sense.

ASPIREX:
Poor performing graduates will always be poorly paid. It's the law.

Performing graduates on the other hand will always attract a reward commensurate with their input to the system. It's the law.

This is so wrong!

In fact, in Nigeria, the reverse is the case.

This is only true in few private firms.

kdfinest:
well some of your points are valid but such conclusion shouldn't be attributed to large number of applicants.
Fresh graduates like myself shouldn't be subjected to modern day slavery because most employers takes advantage of many due to lack of working experience and high unemployment rate in our dear country.
But, prior to the aforementioned, what nature of job do you pay #50,000 per week because I might be interested.

That guy dey Bobo una.

How many companies in Nigeria pay per week?

He had to put that in just to feel good about himself. I'm not saying #200k per month is farfetched even for an entry level position but I'm damn sure that nigga doesn't pay such. He's just making mouth.

mollie12:
Nothing more to add. I'm sure you are one of the target unemployable folks this post set out to address.
With each rebuttal, you have corroborated my initial point. Looking for excuses to remain lazy and not make the needed changes to become employable.

And by the way - on your points on me paying peanuts. Lol. You missed where I said I lost hundreds of thousands of naira on low-value hires.

My payout rate was NGN50,000 per week (that comes to NGN200k per month) for fresh graduates because I wanted to give young people a chance. That's more than 6x the national minimum wage. But with submissions like yours, I now see why most employers of labor insist on paying peanuts. Since people don't want to take corrections and learn how to improve themselves and their value.

Did you see how you were triggered because the fellow countered you points logically.


You are nothing more than a modern slave master.

You are just an HR trying to be nice.

Let me ask you, the people that are carrying the country's economy, are they Ghanaian graduates?

I can counter all what you wrote their word for word but I don't have time.


You mentioned unpaid internship? I swear, I dey vex!

How do you expect an intern to come to work, feed, help the company grow and not get paid? ...and some of you use interns like slaves but your maid at home is earning decent salary.


Let's just cut the crap! The hiring process in this country is so broken and you people are too blind to see it.

Space Sweepers. 7/10.

I dey feel that guy pidgin.

qtguru:
Of another's man handsomeness that's sounds gay to me

Not only handsomeness.

A guy once got angry because I touched the cheek of a girl that wasn't giving him face.

Another was jealous because I hugged a girl he was trying to enter.


The thing is funny from me because it came from mature guys, not kids o.

qtguru:
I'd be surprised if that didn't happen, guys don't have time for drama. Only ladies do

You will be surprised how jealous some guys can be.

Sonnobax15:
